How to grow potted flowers and points to note

In the hot summer, seeing potted aquatic flowers placed at the door or by the window, with flowers floating on the water and leaves swaying in the wind, gives people the feeling of a cool breeze brushing their faces and the heat vanishing completely. Generally speaking, aquatic flowers suitable for pond cultivation are all suitable for pot cultivation. If flower growers want to succeed, they can refer to the following key points when potting aquatic flowers:

Species: Aquatic flowers that are suitable for potting and can achieve good ornamental results mainly include water chestnut, arrowhead, water hyacinth, lotus, reed, gorgon nut, softstem bulrush, water lily, water willow, and cattail.

Light: Aquatic flowers mostly prefer places with abundant sunlight, and daily sunlight should preferably be no less than 4 hours.

Soil: River mud is best. If there is no river mud, loam can be used instead, and the cultivation results are also very good.

Containers: When choosing cultivation containers, on the premise of being easy to move, the principle should be to select larger ones. This is because in larger containers, aquatic flowers grow vigorously, and the watering interval can be longer, which is good for viewing and management.

Division and replanting: Although aquatic flowers that have grown in the original pot may start off growing well, the later they go, the worse they do. Therefore, it is best to divide and replant them every spring. This not only ensures the growth of potted aquatic flowers, but also increases the propagation rate of potted aquatic flowers.

Water supply: During the whole year of management, the pot soil must never be allowed to dry out. There should always be a layer of water on the surface of the pot soil.

Overwintering: Reed, gorgon nut, softstem bulrush, water willow, and cattail can overwinter in the open field; water chestnut, arrowhead, water hyacinth, lotus, and water lily must overwinter in a greenhouse.

Flowers are the essence of nature. With their graceful posture, brilliant colors, and refreshing fragrance, they decorate nature with extraordinary beauty and are increasingly favored by people. Zhuhai is subtropical, and the climate is very suitable for households to grow flowers and grass. Bringing flowers into the home, breathing fresh air from them, and enjoying endless pleasure has become a symbol of modern civilized life for the people of Zhuhai. However, growing flowers well is not a simple matter. Many flowers that could originally grow for many years quickly develop yellow leaves, wither, and die because people do not understand how to manage them. Therefore, cultivation and management must be carried out scientifically according to the actual home environment, thereby reducing unnecessary losses.

Reasonable watering: Water is a necessary condition for the survival and reproduction of flowers. Reasonable watering is the key to successful flower growing. The water requirements of flowers vary greatly depending on the species, environment, and climate. For household flower growing, especially indoor flowers in the living room, since there is no direct sunlight, the transpiration of flowers is weak, so they must not be watered too frequently. Otherwise, the soil will often be in a waterlogged state, and the root system will suffocate and die. Watering too much and too often is an important reason why many households fail at growing flowers. Generally speaking, flowers placed on balconies should be watered more, and indoor flowers less; when the temperature is hot, water more, and when the temperature is cool, water less; herbaceous plants should be watered more, and woody plants less. Watering should also be done in alternating wet and dry cycles, that is, water only when the soil is relatively dry, and each time water until water seeps out from the bottom of the pot.

For fertilizing household flowers, the following methods can usually be adopted:

The first method is mixing application. So-called mixing application means combining cultivation soil with organic fertilizer or inorganic fertilizer, mixing them thoroughly and evenly, and piling them up to make cultivation soil for use in flower cultivation.

The second method is broadcast application. So-called broadcast application means evenly scattering fertilizer on the surface of the potted flower soil, and it is suitable for topdressing. Ring application around the pot, hole application, strip application, and insertion application can also be adopted; they are suitable for larger potted flowers and flowers that need more fertilizer.

The third method is liquid application. So-called liquid application means dissolving organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer in water and watering the flowers with a certain concentration. However, the fertilizer content must not be too strong; frequent light application is better. This method is relatively simple and takes effect quickly.

The fourth method is foliar feeding. It uses inorganic fertilizers and trace elements dissolved in water, sprayed onto the leaf surface of plants (especially the underside of leaves) by spraying, and is directly and quickly absorbed and utilized through plant leaves. This fertilization method can play a good role in promoting plant growth in the later stage. It can also be used when plants lack a single element or when flower leaves turn yellow.

The fifth method is infusion fertilization. It is a fertilization method carried out by drip irrigation with a solution prepared according to the special needs of the plant. This method has two types: one is the external drip irrigation method, in which after the solution is prepared, an infusion tube and needle from a storage bottle are inserted into the soil at the root crown, allowing the liquid to slowly enter the soil and prompting the roots to absorb and utilize it; the other is the internal drip irrigation method, in which after the solution is prepared, an infusion tube and needle from a storage bottle are inserted into the cambium part of the plant stem, allowing the plant to directly absorb and utilize it and promoting rapid plant growth. However, the solution must be sterilized.
